Calista Flockhart, known for her role in “Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans,” expresses immense pride in her husband Harrison Ford, particularly applauding his evolution as a father. The 59-year-old actress, who adopted her son Liam in 2001, met Ford, now 81, in 2002 at the Golden Globe Awards.
At the time, Ford was already a father to sons Benjamin, Willard, Malcolm, and daughter Georgia from previous marriages. Despite a significant age gap and the challenges of blending families, the couple has successfully navigated parenthood, and Ford has even adopted Liam.
Reflecting on Ford’s parenting style, Flockhart praises him, noting that his experience as a father to older children contributed to his growth and maturity in raising Liam. Ford, who had earlier acknowledged the complexities of parenting his older children due to career demands, embraced the opportunity to be a more present and evolved father with Liam.
In an interview with the New York Times, Flockhart acknowledges that Ford’s previous parenting experiences did not deter him from embracing fatherhood once again. Ford humorously mentions, “I had four children already, and I can’t count that well, so it didn’t make that much difference.” Flockhart playfully attributes her lack of concern about their 22-year age gap to Ford’s “immaturity.”
The couple, married for 13 years, acknowledges the ups and downs in their relationship but emphasizes their commitment to each other. Flockhart shares that Ford is the person she turns to in moments of joy or challenge, highlighting the strong bond they share.
Recalling the beginning of their relationship, the couple had their first date shortly after meeting at the Golden Globes in 2002. Ford humorously recounts luring Flockhart to his house for a dance, and they’ve been together ever since.
As Flockhart and Ford celebrate their enduring relationship and successful family blending, the couple continues to weather life’s challenges and joys side by side.
